Hi Elyse.

>> I have a multi-selectable listbox on my form that I want to pre-fill when the form is loaded. I do this in the Init of the form, but by the time the form is activated the listbox has lost its values. Is there a better way of doing this? I don't know why it's losing its values. <<

One thing that will not initialize the value of a combo or list box is setting the selected property of one of its list items to true in the Init method of a form. The statement:

Thisform.MyList.Selected[1]

in the form's Init method, does not select an item in a combo or list box. This same statement in the form's Activate method will, however, achieve the desired result.
